Rika poked her head into Seto's room "I'm done can I take this stupid thing off now?"

"Nope" Seto smirked

She walked in fully closing the door over "Oh please Seto I feel like a Barbie doll...and it makes my butt look big...."

Seto shook his head. His kitten wasn't afraid of acting differently around him anymore. Rika sat on the bed "Please Seto" she pouted

"Nope"

"Argh!!" she flopped back on the bed "Meany!!"

Seto chuckled at his kitten again not taking his eyes of his laptop, she obviously hated defeat.

"You better be paying me double for this Seto Kaiba!"

Seto stopped typing and looked at Rika, he got up and laid next to her "I'm sorry kitten" he stroked her hair

"You like tormenting me don't you?"

"You are amusing when you're annoyed"

"So is Joey but you don't dress him up in one..."

"Well...he wouldn't look good in one" he cringed at the thought

Rika laughed, then sighed looking to the side.

"What's the matter kitten?"

"I'm scared I'm gonna be sent to a foster home..."

"I can't promise you won't but...I'll see what I can do to so you can stay here"

"Thanks Seto" She hugged him tight, she didn't want to let go feeling safe in his arms

Seto lifted her head up with his finger and slowly kissed her, Rika moaned letting Seto explore her mouth while he slid his free hand up her leg.

"Seto!!" Mokuba called interrupting them

Seto growled and sat up "What!?"

Mokuba popped his head in holding up Seto's cell phone "It's the company" He handed it to him

Seto growled again and quickly spoke to the person on the other end. He sighed and shut his cell phone.

"Got to go?" Rika tilted her head

Seto nodded "Stupid fools"

"One thing before you go"

"What?"

"Can i?"

"Yes you can"

A smile of relief swept across Rika's face.

"But you gotta put it back on when I get back" He smirked

Rika blushed as Seto left. Mokuba looked at Rika "You like...going out or something?"

"Yea...I guess we are"

Rika picked up the phone as it rang "Hello, Kaiba residence"

"Miss. Mitsune?" the voice on the other end asked

"Yes I am"

"It's Detective Omen"

"Oh, how may I help?"

"We went to your home to arrest your father but he wasn't there, any idea where he could be?"

"No we just moved here last week"

"I see...is Mr. Kaiba in?"

"No he's been called to work"

"Ok thank you Miss. Mitsune"

Rika put the receiver down slowly.

"Who was that?" Mokuba asked scaring Rika

"The police...they can't find dad...and please don't sneak up like that"

"Sorry...does Seto know?"

"He will now if they call him, that means he'll be back soon"

There was a loud knock on the door. Rika opened it enough to see who it was "Duke!!" She tried shutting the door but Duke held it

"Now is that anyway to treat guests?"

The door was forced open by someone stronger. Rika fell backwards and looked up "Dad...". A large quite muscular man stood infront of Duke, red faced and a broken bottle in his hand.

"You ratted me out you little bitch!!!" He slammed the bottle down at her. She rolled out of the way and got to feet "Mokuba run!!"

Duke grabbed Mokuba and locked him in the downstairs storeroom with a grin. "Let me out!!" Mokuba banged on the door hearing Rika's cries for her dad to stop. It all lasted about 5 minutes and everything went quiet.

Seto got out of his limo and rushed up the steps when he saw the door open. He ran inside and saw Rika lying unconscious on the floor, blood everywhere. Seto ran to her side "Rika??" He made sure she was breathing

"Big Brother!" Mokuba banged on the door until Seto opened it, he hugged his older brother tightly

"Who did this?"

"Duke came with Rika's dad"

Seto growled and picked up Rika "C'mon"
